To build academic links and develop research partnerships between educational institutions, the Director of the International Cooperation Office at Al Arab University, Dr. Fawzia Al-Mahalli, made an official visit to the Consultancy Center for Environmental Sciences and Sustainable Development at the University of Benghazi, where she was received by the Center’s Director, Prof. Sami Al-Awjali.
The two sides held an extended meeting to discuss establishing joint, sustainable cooperation through a formal memorandum of understanding between Al Arab University and the University of Benghazi, represented by the Center, to give structure to their efforts and align their approaches on issues of mutual interest.
The meeting reviewed the main areas of future cooperation, which will focus on organizing joint events on environmental and climate issues and their effects on society, opening new avenues for scientific and strategic research, and launching awareness campaigns. The two sides also discussed initial preparations for a joint scientific conference and a series of specialized seminars to be held under the patronage of both institutions.
At the end of the meeting, both sides expressed their commitment to moving quickly to put the partnership into practice. They agreed that each would prepare a complete practical proposal and set a date for a follow-up meeting to discuss the proposals and incorporate them into the final text of the agreement ahead of its formal signing.
